On Toucher and Rich, a clip was played from FS1’s First Things First in which Nick Wright was talking about the New England Patriots situation at offensive coordinator. During that clip, Wright was dismissive of people proposing the idea of Bill O’Brien returning to New England.
“You can get those (opinions) from anybody,” Wright said. “Just go to Toocher and Rich if you want that take. That’s not what we’re here for.”
That comment didn’t go over too well with the show.
“What is he talking about?” asked Fred Toucher.
“I don’t know,” Rich Shertenlieb replied, “but he obviously is such a big fan that he gets the name correctly.”
Toucher was confused and bothered by the insinuation because he believes Wright isn’t discussing the same narrative around Bill O’Brien that the show has.
“I don’t get the homer take,” said Toucher. “I don’t even know what he’s talking about. He’s so ineloquent. Like he’s just blah, blah, blah, like hemming and stammering. Shut up. And I don’t even understand what your problem is. Articulate. Articulate. What exactly are you so angry about?… I don’t understand the venom directed towards the Boston media. He’s putting himself on some pedestal that he is above all of it.”
